Stripboard circuits are not printed as they have pre-laid tracks on which to lay the circuit. While stripboard is made of copper, it is different to copper-clad board, which is used particularly ...

They inject power into a circuit and are capable of electrically controlling and amplifying the flow of electrical current, whereas passive components cannot. Passive components don’t need an external ...

The base leg acts as the control and needs around 0.6 volts (V) to switch ‘on’. Once an input of 0.6 volts has triggered the base leg, a much larger current can flow through the collector or ...
